Other Roles: VISTA, OSY Coordinator, Lead Teacher
What kind of information do you look for on the SOSOSY website?
How easy is it to find what you are looking for on the SOSOSY website?
Which of the search features was most helpful?
Rating website features
1 “poor” for visual appeal; “fair” ratings for search (4), ease of use (3), organization (1), and value/relevance (1).
If you could do one thing to improve the SOSOSY website, what would it be?
• Making instructional material in general. Example: Some of the downloads are specific to a state. Can it just not made in general? Example: Instead of saying welcome to Georgia's Migrant Education Program, just say Welcome to the Migrant Education Program. Include links to Audacity, it is a program where changes can be made to audio and additional information about the current state can be added.
One change…..• Nothing , it's great , always find what I'm looking for.• Not that I can think of.• Photos• none• Nothing• I don't know that I have any standing to say change
anything, but if I may encourage advertising the audio files of the ESL lessons more. Especially for any district that does not have an MEP or the Rosetta Stone. Pretty cool.
One change…
• Better pictures on the home page of actually OSY (the pictures seem generic)
• Online networking tools like contact information for people working with OSY around the country---or maybe some sort of log of statistics of which states or counties are visiting the page.. It would eventually be great to have more work samples or videos or products of what people have been done. At NASDME I attended a workshop about digital storytelling with OSY. They had the interview q's used, the display materials, pictures of their exhibit, etc. Instructions on how to do activities like that, or work samples/products of activities would be great. Also, materials on goal setting used with OSY and other materials in that secret OSY consortium train the trainers book would be great to share!!
One change…
• I think the website is very organized and the information is clear. I can't think of anything that I would change.
• Pages are too hard to follow; some material is out of date
• Happy with information that we have. Just have to learn how to use it with ease.
Takeaways….
• Extend survey to other consortium and non-consortium states.
• Search, visual appeal, and ease of use had the lowest rankings.
• Considerations: – Recruiters are using the most, but the most visited information
is about teaching.– Photos and artwork– Samples and instructions for use– Audio files
